Skilled People. Modern Work Culture. Great stress on People Skills.

Authorized officer, software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Amazing pay if you deserve it. 2. Work culture is relaxed, modern and stress free. 3. Great focus on people skills like ethics, respectful conduct and inclusiveness. 4. Flexible work space arrangement empowers me to improve productivity. 5. Pantry area is decked up with sofas, TV, lounges and snack vending machines and free yet good quality coffee. The last one being my favourite. 6. Work load as a developer is not too much.

Cons

1. Few managers coming from service industry background hate things like flexible work arrangements and relaxed work hours and try really hard to spoil the work culture for everyone. The management should take note that this will cause really bad results for the morale of skilled work force. 2. Tech stack is not the most latest but efforts are in place to upgrade them. 3. Food in Mumbai canteen needs improvement.

Horrible Management and dont care about their employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent vacation time - 20days plus 3 personal days. Nothing else

Cons

Horrible management that doesn't communicate to their employees. No opportunity for growth they only promote people they like and there are only very few of those. The bonus is laughable below 3% and they don't give annual cost of living raises. Management demands you to work a lot of OT and weekends - no work life balance whatsoever.
